@MarioNawfal The wife does not have her seat belt on. The kid is in front with no seat belt. This is reckless driving and putting your family in danger.
@SuhagAShukla@Jon_RosenthalTX To be truthful, Hispanic vote to dems turned table. Not much dented due to indian-american vote. Not many voters in that community
A king travelled to another world for what seemed like moments. When he returned, 116 million years had passed.
There is a super nuts story preserved in ancient Indian religious literature that describes something similar to what physics calls time dilation.
The story appears in the Vishnu Purana and the Bhagavata Purana.
According to the story, King Kakudmi took his daughter Revati to Brahmaloka, the realm of the creator deity Brahma, to seek advice about a suitable husband.
When they arrived, Brahma was listening to celestial musicians.
They waited for the performance to finish.
Nothing particularly unusual happened during their visit. They listened to the music, approached Brahma and explained why they had come.
Then Brahma laughed.
The men Kakudmi had been considering for his daughter were dead. Their children were dead. Their descendants had disappeared.
The Bhagavata Purana, Book 9, Chapter 3, Verse 32, gives a crazy specific number.
Twenty seven complete cycles of the four yugas had passed on Earth.
In traditional Hindu cosmology, one cycle represents 4,320,000 years.Multiply that by 27.
116,640,000 years.
A father and daughter leave Earth, visit another realm, experience what seems to them like a brief interval, and return to find that more than 116 million years have elapsed.
The Vishnu Purana, Book 4, Chapter 1, is interesting as it explicitly states that Kakudmi perceived the passing of entire ages as though they were a moment.
This was being described in Sanskrit literature long way way humanity developed modern theories of spacetime.
For context, the Bhagavata Purana is commonly dated to approximately the eighth through tenth centuries CE, although its traditions may be older. The Vishnu Purana also preserves the account in a different literary form.
These are not twentieth century stories retrofitted with scientific language.
Modern physics established that elapsed time is not necessarily identical for every observer. Motion and gravity affect how time is measured.
Does that mean the people who preserved this account understood relativistic physics? Of course that has not been established.
But they were describing an extraordinary difference in experienced time between two realms, with numerical periods that extend into millions of years.
We can interpret Brahmaloka as a divine realm, another plane of existence, or a place entirely outside the ordinary human experience of time.
What inspired people more than a thousand years ago to describe two individuals leaving our world, experiencing a brief visit elsewhere, and returning after entire geological ages had passed?
Was this simply a sophisticated religious illustration of cosmic time?
Or were they preserving an idea about the nature of reality that we are only beginning to understand?
I don't think we should confuse an ancient account with scientific evidence.
But I also don't think we should overlook how extraordinary the story is.

Of course, I wanted the gold. But there’s a part of me that’s just really happy to feel all those long days, difficult losses and endless hours of work finally beginning to mean something. I’ve missed this feeling more than I can explain. ❤️
An se Young , keep shining. You’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and it’s a privilege to share the court with you.
To my team, you know what it’s taken to get here. Thank you for never giving up on me, even on the days I struggled to believe in myself. We have so much more to chase 🫶
And Paris, what can I say? You’ve given me another reason to love you.
Je t’aime, Paris 🇫🇷❤️
My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:
In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the indigenous Kutiya Kondh village of Kutrumali.
In a piece he wrote then titled "Kutrumali’s Demons," Randall described sleeping under a dripping school roof in freezing fog, borrowing utensils from a local health worker to cook khichdi, and waking up at 6 AM to a line of tribal mothers. He wrote with heartbreak about treating malnourished toddlers with protruding bellies and visible ribs, listening to stories of stillbirths and chronic fevers, while noticing the shiny new solar lights installed by a mining conglomerate eyeing the aluminium ore beneath the villagers' feet.
Comparing his small medical team to hobbits sheltering in the night, Randall worried about the outside forces coming for that fragile village.
Randall stayed with the tribal/ adivasi community to serve them. After St. John’s and an MD in Internal Medicine from SMS Jaipur, he gave up every comfort of urban medicine to live in Kalahandi, recognizing that clinical prescriptions are meaningless when indigenous communities are stripped of their forests, water, and dignity.
On the night of October 16, Odisha police picked up Dr. Randall Sequeira and Dalit activist Laxman Naik at 11 PM from his home in Bhawanipatna. A gentle physician who has spent years trekking up hills to save tribal children is now locked in Rayagada sub-jail under frivolous but draconian charges (attempt to murder, dacoity), simply for standing with Adivasis peaceful protesting the mining of their sacred hills in Sijimali and Kutrumali.

Odisha Govt. said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. But it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track London based Vedanta’s, and Adani's mining plans. Local organisations estimate that around 45 villages depend on these hills and would be affected.

The state has answered with repression rather than dialogue. In the last three years, at least 43 police cases have been filed and over a hundred Adivasis and Dalits, both women and men, have been incarcerated in Odisha jails. For example, from In March and april 2026, 8, 2026, to April 8, 2026, within one month, 24 people were sent to jail, 217 were made accused, and the number of “others” total 1,140. An activist who was not named in the original FIRs, but has since been implicated in about 12 cases, so that bail in one case is followed by arrest in another. This pattern of capture and releases have been used to crush rational dissent.
Dr. Randall understood that being a good doctor means understanding that prescriptions cannot compensate for the denial of land rights, that surgery cannot undo displacement and that no medical can substitute for the basic infrastructure a government has failed to provide.

To my fellow medical fraternity, and every citizen with a conscience: a kind physician who embodies the highest ethics of our profession is being criminalized to clear the way for bauxite mining. Please do not let his voice be buried in a sub-jail.
Amplify this, demand due process, and demand the immediate release. Please sign in this form to show solidarity: https://t.co/cgLIoEXExG
